While most people duke it out with their image-editing skills in r/photoshopbattles, the battle was on in this particular subredddit and thread. Some people might feel bullied by all the jokes about something like physical apperance, but Chirv looks to have enjoyed all the funny creations. He writes:

Obligatory “holy shit this blew up” Thanks for all the Photoshops and roasts. It’s great to laugh about yourself first thing in the morning. Reddit never disappoints

And at least he didn’t have to deal with one of those annoying screaming goats
